Tips for Upgrading Your Outdoor Patio Furniture This Spring
The days are getting longer and the first signs of spring are starting to appear. Now is a great time to start planning upgrades and improvements to your outdoor living space so you can fully enjoy it when warm weather arrives. Updating your patio furniture should be a top priority. Follow this guide on what to look for when shopping for new outdoor patio furniture in February.
Check Materials
When choosing patio furniture, opt for durable, weather-resistant materials like powder-coated aluminum, teak, synthetic wicker, and UV-resistant fabrics. These materials can withstand the elements without warping, cracking, or fading. Avoid cheaper sets made with less durable materials like pine, which won't hold up over time outdoors.
Evaluate Construction
Inspect furniture carefully to ensure robust construction. All pieces should have reinforced welds and joints. Cushions should have zippered covers that you can remove and clean. Check that table tops are made from thick, tempered glass or slate. Sturdy construction will ensure that your new patio furniture lasts for years.
Choose Comfort
Comfort is key when selecting outdoor furniture. Deep, plush seat cushions and contoured backs provide superior relaxation. Test out furniture in the store to evaluate comfort. Curved silhouettes are more ergonomic. If buying online, read reviews to learn about comfort. If possible, choose cushions made with high-density foam, as it holds its shape better than lower-density foam.
Get Weatherproof Fabrics
Outdoor furniture fabrics should be resistant to fading, mould, and mildew. Acrylic and olefin fabrics best withstand the weather. If buying cushions, opt for fabric covers that are removable and washable. Constant sun and moisture can break down the fabric over time, so stick with performance textiles designed for outdoor use.
Think About Style
There are endless options when it comes to style - from modern to farmhouse. Focus on choosing a cohesive style that complements your home. A contemporary patio set won't match a craftsman bungalow. Browse online or in stores and make note of styles you are attracted to. This will help narrow down choices. Think about colour, too - earth tones work with almost any style.
